Convergent evolution of seed dispersal by ants, and phylogeny and biogeography in flowering plants: A global survey
Abstract Seed dispersal is a fundamental life history trait in plants. Although the recent surge of interest in seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory) has added greatly to knowledge on the ecology of… Expand

A keystone ant species promotes seed dispersal in a “diffuse” mutualism
In order to understand the dynamics of co-evolution it is important to consider spatial variation in interaction dynamics. We examined the relative importance of ant activity, diversity and species… Expand

Sampling Effort and Choice of Methods
A number of studies have qualitatively assessed the efficacy of diverse methods for sampling rainforest ground-dwelling ants, including pitfall traps (e.g., Adis 1979), Winkler extraction (e.g.,… Expand

Putting plant resistance traits on the map: a test of the idea that plants are better defended at lower latitudes.
• It has long been believed that plant species from the tropics have higher levels of traits associated with resistance to herbivores than do species from higher latitudes. A meta-analysis recently… Expand

Correlations between physical and chemical defences in plants: tradeoffs, syndromes, or just many different ways to skin a herbivorous cat?
Most plant species have a range of traits that deter herbivores. However, understanding of how different defences are related to one another is surprisingly weak. Many authors argue that defence… Expand
